A bright, ground-floor maisonette in the centre of Abingdon, this two-double-bedroom apartment offers straightforward, low-maintenance living with a private entrance and electric underfloor heating. The open-plan living/kitchen is modern and efficient, making the most of the 573 sq ft layout. Built as part of a 2018 conversion, the property benefits from a communal gated courtyard and contemporary finishes.
This home suits first-time buyers looking for central convenience or investors targeting a strong local rental market. The location is minutes from shops, cafés and transport links into Oxford, with an estimated rental of around £1,300pcm (approx. 6.9% yield at the listed price). The long lease (approximately 142 years remaining) avoids short-lease complications.
Buyers should note the material costs of ownership: an annual service charge of about £1,579 and a ground rent of £249 (index-linked and rising every ten years). There is no allocated parking and the property is electrically heated, which may affect running costs. Local crime statistics are higher than average for the area; viewings and lettings should take this into account.
Overall, this is a compact, modern apartment offering immediate occupation (no onward chain) and practical city-centre living. It presents a low-maintenance option for a couple or single household, and a clear income opportunity for landlords prepared to manage service charges and the absence of parking.
